About Total Joint Replacement

Total Joint Replacement, also known as total joint arthroplasty, is a major orthopedic surgical procedure performed to relieve pain and restore function in a severely damaged joint. Most commonly performed on the hip and knee, this surgery involves removing the diseased or damaged bone and cartilage and replacing them with artificial components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This procedure is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections no longer provide adequate relief from chronic pain and stiffness caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. The goal is to improve mobility, enhance quality of life, and allow patients to return to their daily activities with significantly reduced discomfort.

Key Highlights

Significant and long-lasting relief from chronic joint pain.Restoration of joint function, mobility, and range of motion.Improved ability to perform daily activities and enhance overall quality of life.High success rate with modern prosthetic implants designed for durability.Can correct joint deformities and improve limb alignment.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe osteoarthritis causing debilitating pain and stiffness.
Rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory joint diseases that damage the joint.
Post-traumatic arthritis following a serious joint injury or fracture.
Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) where bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply.
Congenital joint deformities or dysplasia.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-rays, MRI).
